Abstract
A perception module of a spatial monitoring system to monitor and characterize a spatial environment proximal to an autonomous vehicle is described. A method for evaluating the perception module includes capturing and storing a plurality of frames of data associated with a driving scenario for the autonomous vehicle, and executing the perception module to determine an actual spatial environment for the driving scenario, wherein the actual spatial environment for the driving scenario is stored in the controller. The perception module is executed to determine an estimated spatial environment for the driving scenario based upon the stored frames of data associated with the driving scenario, and the estimated spatial environment is compared to the actual spatial environment for the driving scenario. A first performance index for the perception module is determined based upon the comparing, and a fault can be detected.
